New mirrors and headlight
12/21/21 at 15:22:56
I thought I'd share this. The stock factory mirrors on my S40 were useless as the handlebars are so narrow. I found some nice bar end mirrors, they are nicely positioned and just the right size. Huge improvement over stock.
I also installed Denali M5 LED headlight, so much brighter than the stock halogen, love it!

Where did you get the mirrors and what brand are they? They look slick. Very nice.

Bought them from ebay, they are of no particular brand, but seem very nice and quality made.

Are these mirrors convex, that reduce reflection size. Are "objects in mirror closer than they appear."

Yes, but not as convex as the small round bar end mirrors. These are just slightly more convex than stock.

That looks great! Was it a plug and play fit or require some modifications? I commute after dark and the stock low beam leaves me blind in all the tight curves.

Completely plug and play, but if you're going to upgrade, might want to go for JW Speaker adaptive headlight, it has additional LEDs and a lean sensor to eluminate into curves.

Nice upgrades!
How is this headlight listed for close to $400 on ebay?

Yeah, its not a cheap light, you can probably buy just as good of a light on ebay/amazon for under $100, just look for 5-3/4 LED lights.
I originally had this Denali light on my V Star 950, but I am getting a JW Speaker adaptive light for it, so I put this one on the trusty little S40. A modern LED light really transforms the look of the bike IMO.
